Well lads, I tried to shoot a block of solid ice that I set in a beer can (always have plenty of those around ) and I thought id be able to shoot a 8mm rock through it... To my horror, it did absolute bugger all. Just mearly a small crator 20mm across and 10mm deep.

Where i live, Mother nature was nice enough to cover every inch of every outdoor thing with about a 1/2 inch of ice. I tried to remove the ice from our driveway with a giant metal pole about.... 6 feet long and 3 inches in diameter... and all it did was crack mabey an inch of the stuff away.

i then moved to my Dartgun (156 ft/lbs) and it still just made a "crater" and did not crack the ice at all.

eventually, i just gave up...........

but yes, ice is VERY strong...... (someone needs to make an ice pressure chamber..... NOW)
